Pizza in HD

This week our friend from Halifax was visiting so there was a lot more nights out and thus pizza was necessary.  Steve was also kind enough to pick up a DSLR camera for us and bring it from Canada so most of the pictures going forward will be of much higher quality.

Monday night involved a visit to our new neighbourhood in Monti - just a couple hundred metres north of the Colosseum and then exploring the Pantheon and Piazza Navona before going to a small piazza near the Church Santa Maria Della Pace on Via Della Pace.  There was live music and street entertainers and a really good ambiance.   
Not in HD

Pretty amazing church and reminds me of Gringots from HP
La Focaccia
Via Della Pace,
Mozzarella, Gorgonzola, pear and walnuts, thick crust.  Fantastic

Cost ~ 9 - 8/10
Service 7.5/10
Taste 9/10
Overall 9/10
Definitely worth going back for the pizza, ambiance, location, music and basically everything

There are fries on this pizza....  Very tempting.

The periodic table of pizza.  Collect them all

Pizzeria in Venice (they are all the same - and not very good)
Overall 6.5/10

Gusta pizza in Florence.  Not much better than this.  Very fresh, very quick, very fast.
Price ~8 - 8.5/10
Service (none but no hassle and quick) 8/10
Taste 9
8.5/10
Worth a trip to Florence just for the pizza

Bar Pizzeria Spaghetteria in Pisa on via Roma right beside the leaning tower.
Price ~9 - 7/10
Service 7/10
Taste 6/10
7/10
Not great but it was cool inside and I can never say no to pizza

So I have a few more pizza places to review to catch up with.  It's been a very busy few weeks going to Florence, Venice, Pisa, Castiglione, Ostia Antica and Talamone.  I hope to keep up better in the future and provide a little more background to each pizza but this is really far behind so I just want to get it out for now.  
Thanks for staying with me fellow pizza lovers.
